Judo! Mate! (That’s Japanese for stop!)

We did lessons with ProJudo at Parklands. We learned some Japanese words and we played mini matches. A number of the pupils were selected as test dummies! We learned how to pin someone to the ground and worked on our agility. It was great fun competing against one another.

 

Letters – personal and important

In writing this month we have been writing letters. Earlier in the month we wrote letters to our buddies – we read them out to them when we visited with them. Yesterday we wrote a letter to the head of Environment in the council – we wrote asking for an explanation as to why 400 of our trees were cut down. We will select one and send it to him asking for a reply.

 

Researching Confirmation Saints and learning about our faith

During the past couple of weeks we have been choosing our Conformation Saints. Mr Fogg has been showing us different saints including St. Margaret, St. Vincent De Paul and St. Maximilian Kolbe. We are creating powerpoints about our saints and we will be sharing with our families soon. Once we have chosen our saint we are going to write a letter to the Bishop confirming our choice of Confirmation Saint. Those children not being confirmed have been learning and researching more about their own faith and deepening their understanding.

Outdoor Art – inspired by Andy Goldsworthy

During Outdoor Learning we have been learning to create art that has been inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. He is an artist who creates pieces with natural materials that he finds in the wild. We went into groups and created circular art using leaves ( with a focus on using different coloured leaves) and then we have a chance to talk through what we had made with our peers. Earlier in the month we  consolidated our maths work by making bar graphs in the forest too.
